...clock. Besides Harvard, teams have been entered from Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Syracuse, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Cornell has won the championship for the last five years, and is expected to win again this year. Last year the University team finished fifth, and, although it is somewhat stronger this year, its chances Wednesday are rather doubtful...
...every line play. Hoar, who took his place, played and aggressive and strong game. Grant, at centre, frequently broke through the Yale line and stopped end and tackle plays. Pierce put up the best game that he has ever played and repeatedly had the jump on Cooney. Burr was somewhat overtrained but he held his own well with Captain Biglow.

Possibilities for a great eleven were shown, yet brilliant individual football rather than steady team play characterized the game. On October 14 an old-fashioned, line-smashing style of play enabled Yale...
...communication this morning the CRIMSON prints the somewhat contradictory sentiments of "1909" concerning the new football songs. The writer states correctly that either all the songs were below par or the Committee made a bad choice, but he weakens his second point by admitting that without doubt "it chose the least of 40 evils...
